China

China, officially known as the People's Republic of China is a vast country in Eastern Asia (about the
same size as the United
States of America) with the world's largest
population.

With coasts
on the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, and South
China Sea, in total it borders 14 nations. It borders Afghanistan, Pakistan
(through the disputed territory of Kashmir), India,
Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar,
Laos and Vietnam to the south; Tajikistan,
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to the west; Russia and Mongolia
to the north and North Korea
to the east. This number of neighboring states is equaled only by China's vast neighbor to the north, Russia.

The Great Wall:

One of the
grandest construction feats in the history of the world, the Great Wall winds
for 6700 kilometers
(4163 miles)
across deserts, grasslands, mountains, and plateaus maintaining a height of 15-20 feet, and a width of up
to 25 feet.

China's tourism industry has become one
of the hot spots in the country's already sizzling economy. As the country
becomes increasingly ‘tourist-friendly' with improvements to infrastructure and
transportation, especially at major tourist sites, the number of overseas
visitors to China
grows each year.

China is home to 56 ethnic groups, each
with its own history and culture.
